plea for help using the wonderful and magnificent Camel

[Martok]

A belated welcome to the Org, woad&fangs.

Unfortunately, I'm only familiar with camel units from the original MTW -- I never really played Rome long enough to try out the camels in that game. I can tell you that in MTW, camels received a bonus when fighting in desert areas (in addition to the bonus against horses), but I don't know whether RTW's camel units receive this bonus as well.

I find every single Camel unit, apart from the Camel Gunners of M2TW, to be useless.

HERETIC!!!

Use camels as you would horses, just show them a higher degree of respect. Run the horses around in the desert, then pounce. Remember, camels are lightly armoured, not that great against heavy armoured guys in the italian area and such.

I really do think that camels, unless the have an angry moorish guy with a gun on them, are useless.
My advice W&F is don't use camels unless they are Camel Gunners.

Bullocks, no unit is useless on its own only in certain ways they are used (except peasants maybe).

I find Incendiary Pigs useless - I've yet to see them actually run in the right direction when lit

Flame on! *Oink*

Yes I agree the pigs don't ever go in the right dierection I tried once but they ran backwards and killed my own army.
